Frankfurter and His Mommy

Gunner James

I am Angela Walters. Hello and welcome to my blog! I am a Christian, card making, wiener dog loving lady. I started this blog in 2009 to share the cards I have made and my wonderful wiener dog, Frankfurter, with all of you. Although my dear Frank passed away in May of 2017, this blog continues as a way to honor him and all of the joy he brought into the world!

In September of 2017, I adopted another wiener dog, Gunner James. Gunner is not a replacement for Frank because no one could ever replace my amazing Frankfurter. Instead, my heart simply grew as I fell in love with another sweet Dachshund. I am thankful and blessed to have another sweet boy to share with all of you, along with my cards, on this blog.

My life will always be better because of the time I spent with my wiener dog, Frankfurter Walters. I was blessed to be his Mommy from June 30, 2001 until he passed away on May 21, 20017. He will forever be loved and missed.

FMS159 My Favorite Things Caramel Apple

Hello, Friends!

First, I apologize, yet again, for the break in posting. As I'm sure you guessed it is still because of my back. The short version is I have had more tests and definitely need back surgery because of two of my disks being seriously damaged. Between the regular pain, the pain from the tests and going to the doctors office visits, and some depression about all of this taking so long, I haven't done much stamping. Luckily, my back was a little better over the weekend, so I got busy and made some cards I had been wanting to make. That brings me to today's card!

My Grandma is in a nursing home, not too far away, but because of my back, I can't stand to ride in the car to see her very often. My Mom told me the other day that my Grandma had asked for a caramel apple. I thought that sounded delicious and wanted one, too. Since I had this adorable stamp from My Favorite Things with a little girl with a new caramel apple, I decided to make my Grandma a card with it. We might not be able to eat our apples together, but this way she'll know I'm thinking of her when she has hers.

I used a sketch from "Freshly Made Sketches." The goal of this blog is to keep your card clean-lined and fresh! That was perfect for this simple little card I had in mind, so I replaced the circle with my little girl. I had planned to use fall colors, obviously, so my card also fits the "Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog Challenge" to use the color Kraft in your project. Kraft is the background color for my card. It was the perfect neutral color to let the other fall colors shine in my card. My little girl was put on the card with foam tape, or dimensionals, so she would stand up and out from the card. I also added Glossy Accents on her apple and barrette just to give them a little bit of shine and texture.

Don't you love the autumn paper by Carta Bella? I have another card to share using it so come back and check in soon!

Happy Stamping!
